Compression Vein Therapy

Compression therapy is a termporary method of closing malfunctioning veins using external compressions with either bandages or compression stockings. Compression therapy does not treat venous insufficiency but it does remove the visual manifestations of venous insufficiency. This therapy is not designed to be used as a standalone therapy and should be used in conjunction with a venous insufficiency treatment procedure.

What compression level do I need?

Whether you have tired, aching legs or severe edema, a trained physician can direct you to the proper compression range (mmHg) necessary for good leg health. In fact, certain levels of compression therapy must be prescribed by a trained physician.

Why compression works

Compression therapy means that a patient must wear either socks or stockings that designed for the purpose of supporting your veins. These socks or stockings are normally worn in the morning upon waking and then removed at night time. Throughout the day, the support that they provide stop blood from pooling in leg veins and improve overall circulation.
